The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19, 1894. G. M. HARM AN, Editor and Publisher LEXINGTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 15. 1893. ' 1 ? ? L ?? CAOVrtl", of | 'lne war aepanmeui, ia m scanu of a healthy locality suitable for a rendezvous for the volunteeer troops. The experience at Chickamauga is anything but satisfactory and show that ibis place is totally inadequate to the demands for such purposes. It is claimed that the water supply for both bathing and drinking purposes is insufficient, and the sanitary j arrangements are poor, consequently many of the volunteers are in the hospital, while others are sick in their tents. From these facts the government, it is claimed, is desirous of seeking a new site for the camp. One of the most prominently and favorably spoken of places is Columbia, the capital of this State, and we submit ?is a matter of fact no more elligible site could possibly be selected for this purpose than Columbia and vicinity. Its advantages over its rivals are numerous and well recognized. Proverbially healthy, unsurpassed climate, unexcelled ? i?j i transportation lacmties, ana auuuuance of pure fresh water for all purposes make it the place that should be selected by the authorities. The deep water edition of the Charleston Evening Post is very creditable, surpassing anything we have yet seen undertaken in the line of special editions. It contained thirteen sections of eight pages each, making a total of 111 pages of a well written and profusely illustrated write up of Charleston and other towns in the State. It is a credit to Charleston and to the management of the Post and we congratulate both. OBITUARY. Our community was veiled in deep sorrow on June the 2d, when the news came from Gaston College that God with his almighty hand had * ? i 1 plucked from us our Deioveu irieuu and schoolmate, Linda Kaiser. Death always brings sorrow. Even when the aged are taken away, but when one is taken who is entering in the prime of a useful life the event is sad indeed. The death of Linda has cast a gloom over the whole community in which she was so well known and so highly esteemed. Language fails to express the deep sorrow we _ feel at the loss of our loved and valued friend. In her death we deeply feel the loss of a valuable member and a faithful worker in our, St. David, Sunday school, and all Christian circles. Her voice which was so familiar to us all will never more be heard. We should strive with earnest zeal, | and pure love for the Savior so that, i when we are called to pass into that j unknown world, we may joyfully lay > down our armour and receive the J reward of the faithful. God alone knows the grand possibilities to which she might have ' attained had it not pleased Him to .remove her so soon. She is gone, but time can never blot out of our j memory her cheerful face and her | familiar voice can imaginable Le j v.*. fVinco JViol n'oro so familiar ! i-ica* '~l Ijj luvov. bUMw nv?v WV , with her. We were all looking forward lo meet her in a few days, from Gaston College, from which place she would have graduated at the close of the school. She was buried at St. David's church where she had been a consis j tent member and faithful worker j untii her death. The funeral services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. R. E. Livingston, who spoke many comforting words to the grief striken family and sorrowiDg friends. There was a large congregation present at the funeral, who came j with offerings of flowers and tear | stamped faces for a last look at their i much loved friend. But her noble life has closed and her familiar form is hidden from our earthly view. Yes, dear friend, thoa hast left us, Here thy loss we deeply feel; Bnt 'tis God that hath berelt ns; He can all oar sorrows heal. Peaceful be thy silent slumber? Peaceful in the grave so low; Thou no more wilt join our numbers, Thon no more our songs shall know. Yet again we hope to meet thee, When the day ot life is fled; TKtn in Kosvon ttitl, inv tr> arfl^t thw Where no farewell tear is shed. Ia a F. Roof. June 6, 1898. Batesburg Items. To the Editor of the Dispatch. Tne dry weather has knocked all the spirit out of the people and they ViavA Inner fanes and are blue over the *"* ' ~ ? situation. We have been predicting rain continuously for weeks and no rains came. The prophets have all I lost Cist and should they tell the j truth now no one would believe them, and such a sacrifice of vegetation and i reputation has rarely been witnessed ; in our community. We have been trying tc kiil time in ! various ways. Some go fishing and catch a big pile, but owiDg to the hot _ weather they have to eat them on the spot. But we know tbvy cateh them, even if we don't see the fish, for we feel sure the men are truthful, even on a fish fry. The school closing exercises were good and showed excellent training on the part of the teacher. Several graduated and received their diplomas, viz: Misses Evaliue Jones, Emma Kernaghan, Maude Kerna- j ghan, Emma Rawl and St. Julian j Cullum. Profs. Daniel and Sanders, and j Misses Wakefield and Newton have j earned the highest esteem of the entire community for their faithfulness j ar>r{ We regret that all I v. . J - ... _.0 will not return, as Prof. Sanders has [ been elected Principal of the South i Carolina Co Educational Institute at I "Williston, and Miss Newton has ac- j cepted the Poitfolio of Music in the ! Cokesbury Academy. The vacancies J here have not been filled yet. The Base Ball team of Barnwell came up last Tuesday and were badly beaten by the Batesburg boys. The small pox scare has about subsided. The disease never reached v our place and the numerous rumors that we had small pox in Batesburg were malicious slanders and circulated by enemies to our progressive town. The completion of the new railroad is a fact and regular schedule trains are now running. Numerous excursions come into our town. The Sunday schools of Springfield (Baptist, Lutheran and Methodist) will picnic here soon and be-fWDea uy me Sunday schools of Batesburg?we predict a delightful occasion. J. A. Muller Esq., of your town has been with us twice recently, also Sheriff Caugbman pays us an occasional visit. Candidates from this portion of the county are slow to come out but some of our best material will be in the field, and as we have a large and intelligent voting population and have always stood up to the Democratic ticket, we hope to succeed. The Aiken and Saluda border of our county have paid a large share of the taxes and claimed scarcely none of the offices and an honest distribution is all we will ask and don't wish by any means to monopolize all. Rev. T. G. Herbert of Leesville preached in the Methodist church yesterday, the pastor, Rev. Mr. Dantzler was unavoidably absent from town. Rev. A. C. Wilkins left this morning for Greenville to attend the commencements of Furman University and Greenville Female College. Occasional. i June 13, 1898.

A desperate fight occurred at Guantanamo between the American and Spanish forces, which lasted for thirteen loDg hours. American marines were landed and the Spanish regulars and guerrillas attacked them, killing four Americans and wounding one. The Spanish loss is said to have been appalling. The Spaniards, finding themselves unable to hold the town, sacked and burned it, completely destroying it. The American flag now floats over the Spanish fort. Card of Thanks.

One of the grandest agencies which enlightened Science has discovered to relieve motherhood from excessive suffering is the "Favorite Prescription" devised by Dr. R. V*. Pierce, chief consulting physician of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo. X. Y. This wonderful " Prescription " imbues the entire nervous system with natural, healthy vitality; gives elastic vigor to the delicate organism specially concerned in motherhood; renders the prospective mother strong and cheerful and makes the coming of baby entirely free from danger and almost free from pain. The delighted gratitude of Mrs. Pearl Walton, of Alvo. Cass Co., Neb., will find an echo in the heart of every expectant mother: " Previous to the birth of my child.*' writes Mrs. Walton. I had no appetite, was sick at my stomach, had headache, could not rest at night, was comple* "lv worn out in every way.

The Troops Have Left for Cuba. Washington, June 13.?The first army of invasion is now well on its way, 3*2 transport steamships bearing over 15,000 officers and men, convoyed by battleships, cruisers, gunboats and auxiliary craft, 16 in number, having actually sailed from Key West at daybreak this morning. An authoritative statement to this effect was made at the war department today setting at rest all reports that the expedition was on its way, or had. landed last week. The authorities made the announcement for the reason that the time for secrecy was now past, as the scout boats had made sure that the path was clear before it announced that no possible menace could come from the Spanish ships or troops, even should the enemy know that our forces were now advancing against them. With the expedition off, offi cials here feel that there will be a feeling of comparative inaction for a few day8. The troops making up the expedition which started today are as follows: Infantry Regiments?6th, 16th, 71st New York Volunteers; 10th, 21st, 2d, 13th, 9th, 24th, 8th, 22d, 2d, Massachusetts Volunteers; 1st, 25th, 12th. 7th, 70th, 3d, 20th. Total, infantry, 561 officers and 10,709 enlisted men. Cavalry?Two dismounted squadrons of four troops each from the 3d, 6th, 9th, 1st and 10th cavalry, and two dismounted squadrons of foui troops each from the 1st United States Volunteer cavalry. Total, dismounted cavalry, 159 officers. 2,875 enlisted men. Mounted cavalry?One squadron of the 2d, ? officers and 280 enlisted men. Artillery?Light batteries E and K 1st artillery. A. and F, 2d artillery. 14 officers and 323 enlisted men. Batteries G and H, 4th artillery, siege guns, 4 officers and 132 enlisted men. Engineers?Companies C and E; 9 officers and 200 enlisted men. Signal Corps?One detachment, 2 officers and 45 enlisted men. Hospital detachments are included in the foregoing figures. The stafl corps numbers 15 officers. The grand total of the expedition ic 77!-i nffifprs and *24 ?0-1 Pnlisted men. I3v Thursday at the lastest the transports will be off Santiago, and a large American army will make its lauding on Cuban soil. Admiral Sampson has cleared the way for this undertaking, and little danger is apprehended in getting ashore. It will be, after that, when the advance is made, that the actual dramatic developments may be expected. The regular troops make up the greater part of the force, there being but three volunteer organizations on the ships. Aside from the men and officers making up the expedition, the boats carried a vast quantity of supplies, ammunition and war equipments, necessary to maintain an organization of this size for at least GO days. Every detail for the landingfof this party has been worked out by the engineer corps of the army. It will be a laborious process at the best, and will take a full day or more. The point of landing has been so chosen that there is little danger of an interruption from the Spanish forces, but should they attempt to make trouble Admiral Sampson's ships will insure ample protection until the troops can care for themselves. The Spanish Cadiz fleet is as much of a mystery to the naval officers here as was Admiral Cervera's flying squadron during the two weeks immediately preceding its glorious bottling up at Santiago. Today a report came that the squadron was unfit for sea. That would have been credited, except that the department has had information a9 late as Saturday to the effect that the squadron was already at sea and was about to depart. About a week before that it had been told that the Cadiz fleet had sailed. Having in mind these conflicting reports, the war board scarcely knows where to give credence, though it would seem to be an extraordinary circumstance that the least doubt could exist as to the presence in or absence from the harI 1* ? ? ^ ^ A i TT A II /?V* A A /"'a /I % rr uui ui o pupuiai citj ouuu ao uauj^ of a whole squadron of warships. However, the weight of opinion seems to incline to the presence of the fleet at Cadiz owing to the bad condition of the ships. It may be noted, however, that although acting upon this belief, as shown by the beginning of the military invasion of Cuba, the war board is taking no unnecessary chance of a surprise, and by means of scouts has provided for securing timely warning of the approach of any hostile vessels to the seat of war. A good deal of surprise is express ed at the failure of the report to mention any substantial aid received from the insurgents by the United States marines camped on Cresehrill. Reinforcements were sent from our own warships, but it does not appear in the reports that the marines had help from the men best calculated from their experience in jungle fighting to be of service in an encounter with Spanish guerrillas. Without any discouragement to the fighting ability of the marines, who appear to have acquitted themselves with the greatest credit so far as concerns their bravery and steadiness under fire, the question has been raised in the minds of the mili tarv experts whether, failing in any substantial assistance from the Cubans who reported to have been so numerous in the vicinity, western soldiers trained in Indian fighting would not be of more service in a Cuban jungle campaign. Nothing so severely tasks the courage and endurance of troops as to be shot at from cover by an unseen foe and only troops trained in our latest skirmish drill can render effective service in such attacks. The navy department has concluded that it has purchased as many small vessels for the auxiliary fleet as it requires, and an intimation to that effect was conveyed to Admiral Erbenl, in charge of that service, today. i . . The President has signed the war 1 revenue bill. ' General Coppinger is now in com mand of the troops left at Tampa. Carrier pigeons will bring us the news of the movement of the fleets. A Seminole Chief has fourteen descendents in the army at present. , The latest is that Spain i3 full of 1 hope and determined to coutinue the war. ' It is said that the Spaniard's > mode of warfare in Cuba is barbar ous. The entire issue of war bonds has been spoken for by a financial firm ^ of New York. It is said that England furnishes ' coal and France the amunition for the Spaniards. [ The third or fourth official report of Admiral Dewey of the battle of Manila has been published. Charleston will probably be selectI ed as the port of embarkcation for the second army of invasion. [ More United States war vessels : have been injured by accident and carelessness than by Spanish shells i and Spanish treachry. L The report is denied that Germany intended calling a conference i of the powers regarding American occupancy of the Phillipines army. 1 The troops under command of Gen. Shafter sailed from Key West, 1 at day break for Santiago on June 12, and are expected to land nine miles West of that place by tomorrow. James Johnson the negro regular who was charged with murdering a white farmer named Joel Collins at Lakeland, Fia., has been found guilty of murder in the second degree. The London Financial News prints the story that three larg e Spanish ironclads from Madagascar waters have arrived inside of Manila, and Admiral Dewey has gone to meet them. The following South Carolinians have been appointed to positions in the army: Edward Willis to be assistant quartermaster with the rank of Captain, Robert S. Thompson appointed to the Volunteer signal corps. The plans of the administration are now assuming definite shape. Forming a rendezvous near Key West marks the beginning of a general invasion of Cuba. The Porto Rican goes forward on t*he heels of the Santiago movement if not simultaneously. The third expedition to Manila will probably go forward today. Look! A Stitch in Time Saves nine.
